Once a country revered, now a country suffering.
Decades of corruption brought the nation of Yue Guo to the brink of a coup right before the triennial gathering of the allied seven countries. When eighteen year-old Zhao Wen, the young disorderly prince who was sent away at birth to protect him, returns with the mystical powers of Yue Guo’s legendary founding queen, the treacherous ruling court suddenly finds everything they’ve established upended.
​
But medicine used unwisely can be lethal, and a legend in the form of a prince is as potent as it gets. To uproot the festering court’s entire network could plunge Yue Guo’s governance into shambles and the country into chaos. While newly arrived foreign princess, Ruan Yi, worries for her sister’s impending betrothal to Yue Guo’s crown prince, the stoic official Han Juyang struggles over the survival of his beloved land.
​
The more each of them wades into the court’s secrets, the darker the danger looms. Until even a legend prince cannot foresee what is to come in this intricate battle of intrigue and suspicion.

Publication date to be determined
Once a country revered, now a country recovering.
The arrival of six other countries should have been cause for excitement, but meeting her fiancé for the first time felt more like an inevitable duty for Nan Guo's second princess, Ruan Yi. But what choice did she have about taming her wayward feelings and accepting her fiancé, Ma Zebin, when the future of her country was at stake?
​
Not all was as tentative as a war for one's heart. Trade talks and border defence were all newly minted Finance Minister Han Juyang expected to occupy his time, but Yue Guo wasn’t the only country facing troubles of their own. No alliance is perfect, and navigating whirlpools of human desires would put Juyang right in the path of potential disaster.
​
But Zhao Wen’s link to the legendary founding queen of Yue Guo created ripples in a way none of them could’ve anticipated. For the alliance existed a millennium for a reason, and old enemies once again threatened its peace.
